Same page as you. I found Obsidian but deferred to Logseq instead for two reasons:

• Open source
• The block editor

But seeing this post reaffirms I should find an alternative. They want collaborative features, etc. That roadmap is very different from what I was wanting out of a “second brain”.

I have already been considering switching back to Obsidian and pairing it with Quartz for publishing.

AnyType seemed close as well, but it has a ton of features I wouldn’t use and it’s not clear to me how I could generate a website from it.

They’re adding a database to back it?

That’s off putting, I liked its simplicity, and it’s being open source.

For that reason I see why companies maintain private mirrors. Heck I want one myself in case any more get lost or removed.
